Re: Rats
Last Summer my friend and I decided to find out how tasty rat was! 
We humanely killed a CLEAN captive bred rat and grilled it on a spit roast!
(My friend owns a large falconry conservation centre and he breeds rats for bird food).
The meat was actually very nice - it tasted a bit like squirrel (if you have ever had that). There wasn't much meat so I think each person will require at least 3 rats each serving.
The lesson learnt here is that rat can be eaten however, I wouldn't recommend eating a wild rat!

I once caught a pot noodle in the wild. i ripped off its skin and poured scolding water into its insides, ripped open its blood red "sachet" and poured the clarety liquid over the goodness. i didn't wait too long before I was noshing away. i may never have tasted rat, but it sure as hell cant be as bad as a pot noodle.

Re: Rats
Any wild meat carries risks of infection, in a survival situation the effect can me multiplied because of improper preparation or cooking and the human body being at a low point and unable to deal with the consequences, food poisoning from badly cooked chicken is rare normally, but could be fatal in a person unable to cope/deal with the effects.Black-Hat wrote:I think wild rats can carry tape worm so be careful! But I guess thats the risk you take if you are starving.

Re: Rats
I used to keep, fly and breed hawks/owls, I had to buy in frozen rat to feed them - and there is no sodding way I would eat anything that smelled like that!
